True Freeview, True Move etc...

[NickA]

True seem to be doing loads of new things at the moment...but I'm not really sure what it's all about.

I think if you get True Move telephone, then you get to move from high speed internet to Super high speed net, which effectively doubles you're current speed.

Then there's True Freeview, which is free, but you have to pay an amount to install it and I'm not sure if the channels are any good...but you can pay for extra channels etc....

Anyway, there a lot of stuff and it's all in Thai, there website has English, but it seems like a lot of gobbledegook....anyone no anything more about it?

[NickA]

Ok, now I know how William feels

[mrsquirrel]

Gay or old?

[blackpanther]

anybody know the exact requirements to move to the super high speed package? i've got ubc and true internet already

[NickA]

^You should be able to move up to super high speed if you've got UBC and high speed internet already.

I've just got True Move, so I should move up to super high speed within a week.

Apparently there are things called truemoney and truelife as well

[blackpanther]

i'll give the fookers a ring later and see if they'll up me. dunno why they wouldn't do it automatically if what you say is true though (no pun intended )

[NickA]

Check out the website (or multiple websites)... it is very badly designed and very difficult to find what you want, but it's all there, somewhere....

Despite what it says on the packet you're still only going to get about 60% of the bandwidth.

[NickA]

^I get 100% for my current package...downloads at up to 110 kB/s normally.

No you don't.

[NickA]

^Yes, I do...

[Spin]

^ putting ur bandwidth to good use i see.

[blackpanther]

my downloads potter along at 100-110kB/s when i've got a few well seeded files going

[NickA]

No you don't.

Oh, yes, I see what you mean now....my maths isn't very good

Still, it's 90%

[lom]

Remove ~5% protocol overhead, you are very near your max.

[Bung]

So let me get this straight.

If I have UBC I can also get internet through it or do I need another dish. Only 599 B a month?

(I have a very short attention span when wading through Thai promotions)

[NickA]

^You can get super high speed internet for 599 baht, they'll install a modem and whatever for free, i think, as long as you already have a true phone line

[blackpanther]

i got my missus to call them. she said i'd have to register on the true website using my ubc account and internet ac number.

they also said that they'd cut off my cable and intenet if either were late! 300 baht charge to reconnect 'em......so i think they can fook off!!

And then tehre is True Coffee.

I hate trying to figure out what speed/package is the best value! Maybe you get what you think you paid for, most likely not. So, in the case where you don't get what you pay for, what deal is the best?

[sledge]

they also said that they'd cut off my cable

Bastards, that'll be painful. Get the missis to put it on ice quick and the doc may be able to reattach it.
